The case I built my new PC in doesn't have a reset switch, either, 
though all motherboards still have the headers for one. Irritatingly, 
the case didn't contain an internal beep speaker. I had to salvage one 
from an old case so I could hear the diagnostic codes, should something 
happen.

But, yet, I still have a big physical switch on the power supply that 
will actually physically cut power to the motherboard.
